I don't know why I was the lucky one to get the call but I'm sure glad I did. It just came off a farm close to Des Moines. I marked it NFS at the show but I still got calls from all over the country wanting to know if it was for sale, word travels fast. The other items were things that just caught my eye and I had to have them..lol. Always buying gas pumps and parts.

I believe Leader Oil Company dates back to at least 1915. Thanks for sharing the nifty sign. You're sure finding a number of nifty items in your dad's garage. Good memories for you, I'm sure.
